Want this question answered?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
It is along the boundary between tectonic plates that most earthquakes occur. These plate boundaries are zones of differential movement between the plates. The tectonic plates, great masses of shifting crust, move into, along or away from each other at their boundaries. Forces of almost unimaginable magnitude build up pressures that cannot possibly be measured. And this occurs between masses of rock and earth that do not want to shift. When they "let go" in response to the pressure, a quake can occur.

Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.

I don't know?
yes
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes

Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)

Earthquakes occur when rock shifts in position on either side of a fault. Tectonic plate boundaries are massive faults that extend down to the asthenosphere.Most earthquakes take place along tectonic plate boundaries because that is where most of the shift occurs.
